We ordered some lady bugs on Amazon to try and keep the bad bugs off of my raspberries. We had a lot of fun releasing them, but sadly, most of them were gone within a week. Next time, I'll wait until the raspberry plants start producing so there's more bugs around so they'll want to stay!
Warm enough for the slip'n'slide!
And making s'mores in the backyard!
This cat has become less cuddly than she used to be, but she seems to sense when she's needed. Lucas was crying because he hurt his leg on his bed, and the cat came out of some hiding spot and jumped up on the bed to comfort him. She's done this multiple times with each kid, and it just fascinates me how in-tune she is to their feelings!
Lucas doing his super-hero poses!
Cutest super-hero I ever did see!
Late night shows with Emma and Brad with his light-saber.
Dentist visits for all, and poor Lucas ended up with his first cavity.
Lots of board games. Jenga!
They brought in new wood chips for the playground, but left the pile in the parking lot for a couple weeks. All the neighbor kids had fun digging nests or riding their bikes on it.
Sprinklers under the trampoline!
The animals wanting nothing to do with hit, hung out with me in the grass.
More slip-n-slide fun, and our first friend over since the shutdown. Jake was very excited to finally have his best friend Ruben back over!
Go Lucas Go! Another fun season of soccer!
And luckily, Roaring Springs was allowed to open and completely saved our summer!
